Collages

A graduate of Otis College of Art and Design in California, Mauceli’s works are a series of abstractions made by means of chance and systematic actions. She uses a variety of materials including collage acrylic ink, clothing, and fabric. Her acrylic ink with paper collage works are carefully placed on and removed from nonabsorbent paper resulting in a surface that fluctuates between flowing and rough. Mauceli’s collages explore how physical alteration creates and transforms our experience through abstraction. This physical alteration provides a natural platform for collaboration and opens all of the works involved to a transformative process. The shapes and gestures repeat forms from the artist’s day-to-day life, in clothing, landscapes and byproducts of other projects.
